Earlier this year we were chatting and he mentioned he’d gotten into distance running, post recovery - and I had questions!

For years, I’ve defended Intuitive Eating and the Anti-Diet movement. But I’m stepping back. The core ideas of IE? Solid. The execution and culture... often leaves a lot to be desired.

But an accurate understanding of HOW exactly something is a problem is ESSENTIAL when choosing where to invest our energy in terms of solutions.
